Internship hours
Want to intern here too?
Tick the box in the form. Places in the psychiatry clinic depend on space and on each patient's consent, so they are discussed with Dr. Abdullah after you enrol. Nothing is promised. Students who complete a one month internship here receive a certificate of internship.
The rules for interns
You observe. You do not interview a patient on your own. Every patient is asked first, and a patient may say no. Nothing about any patient leaves the building, not even in your report.
Where
Caspian Healthcare, 2nd Floor
10-3-761/8, Vijay Nagar Colony, Hyderabad 500057. Opposite the Post Office. Please arrive 15 minutes early with your college ID card.
Questions
Students usually ask
Is this the internship itself?
No. These classes prepare you for the internship and help you write it up. Internship hours here are discussed separately.
Will my college count these classes?
They do not replace the one month internship your college asks for. Ask your coordinator how to show them in your report.
Can I come to only one class?
Please do not. Class 2 builds on Class 1, and the fee is the same.
My friend wants to join later. Group fee?
The group fee is for students enrolled together in one form. A friend who enrols separately later pays the single fee.
Who collects the fee?
The not-for-profit trust that runs Caspian's teaching programmes, so the payment page shows the trust's name. That is correct.
What should I bring?
Your college ID card, a notebook and a pen.
